God interprets.  While our immediate impressions tells us what is present in the physical sense it does not encompass all there is.  God encourages us to take a moment and be with what we are experiencing.  Notice what else is happening besides the obvious.  Then as we place meaning on what we are experiencing we can take that to God for a translation.  Our first inclination will be an interpretation based on survival.  It will be a quick translation of whether or not the situation is one to stay in because it is safe or if we need to get ready to fight, flee, or freeze.  God enables us to face our lives and have a fuller experience than mere survival.  It begins with an openness that all we need to deal with the situation will not be found solely in our own minds.  We need God’s translation to bring it to our hearts and see it through the eyes of love.

If God has gifted us with an intelligent mind and a vibrant heart, which translation do you want to have as the final say in what is happening in your life today?  Share in the comments.
